Future -oriented measures for better childcare in Carinthia

In 2024, a record budget for early childhood support will be provided in Carinthia. This initiative aims to expand high -quality childcare places, which is of great importance for families and especially women. Governor Daniël Fellner emphasizes that an attractive and wide range of supervision creates equal opportunities, of which women in particular benefit who often do most of the so-called "care work".

Petra Oberrauner, the chairwoman of the SPÖ women Carinthia, underlines the need for childcare offers to relieve women and promote their professional activity. "Especially in the current time, family obligations often require women to put their career back. Therefore, a needs -based offer is crucial," she explains.

important investments for a better future

A quality -rich early childhood care is not only essential for the development of children, it is also an important building block for the social and economic future of Carinthia. Studies show that early childhood education is crucial for the later development and educational opportunities of the children. These investments get better opportunities for social participation and educational path.

When it comes to poverty in old age, it is also mentioned that women who can stay in working life are less susceptible to financial dependence in old age. The initiative therefore affects not only the generation of parents, but also the future age structures.

The term “care work” includes activities that are necessary for the well-being of other people, such as childcare and geriatric care. These important, but often unpaid work, usually do women. Therefore, the topic is of great relevance to promote the gender equality in the labor market.

These financial measures and the expansion in elementary pedagogy are therefore a step in the right direction in order not only to meet the current needs of families, but also to create a basis for a fairer future. The complete report on these initiatives is www.klick-kaernten.at to be found.
